ASYLUM DEMANDS NEW RULES. Patients From Other States Must Be Ex* eluded for Lack ot Room. The report on the admission of ^jon-resident patients to the state hos pital for the insane was filed with Governor Heyward Juno 7th by Dr. B. W. Taylor, president of the board of regents and Superintendent Babcoek. The report goes fully into the history of matters, and says: "It appears that about ton years ago practically no patient was refused ad mission to the hospital so long as there was room. Later, pay patients, not in the state, were refused by direction of the board of regents. In 1901 Governor McSweeney corres]x>ndcd with the au thorities in North Carolina and Georgia relative to alleged South Carolinians in those states who could not be admitted to their charitable institutions under existing conditions. The governor of North Carolina decided to enter into a compact with Governor McSweeney relative to the removal of insane pa tients to their own states. "Now, the refusal of patients is con trary to the time honored traditions of charity administration in South Caro lina, but with a daily average of over 1,260 patients in the hospital, every available bed is a distinct asset for helpness and needy South Carolinians. Five hundred and twenty-seven patients were received last year and up to June 1 this year there were 223 new admis sions while 13 new patients were re ceived the first four days in June. "Under the stress of such circum stances the officers of the hospital call on the probate judges through the gov ernor to guard the interests of the state and the hospital by refusing to send in all prospective patients wdio are not strictly citizens or South Carolina and by virtue of this citizenship entitled to the charities of the state. Evidently the authorities at the hospital have de ferred the evil day of excluding any un fortunates whose cases are referred to them, but a time has arrived for rightly enforcing the law and thus pro tecting the interests of the state. It looks as if the examples of our neigh bors, North Carolina and Georgia, would hereafter be followed and their citizenship too, be forced back upon their hands." Stocking the Streams With Fish. Congressman Johnson has received notice from the United States fish commission that 10,400 fish have been placed in Enoree river and its tribu taries upon application of citizens en dorsed by him. Mr. Johnson wishes to have applications from all over his district for fish to stock the streams with and will see that all are promptly filled. Any streams or ponds in the Fourth District will be stocked if pro per application be made. Address Congressman Johnson, Spartanburg, S. C. News From Mt. Olive. Mt. OLIVE, June 9th.?

An alarm of fire was given in the city last Saturday morning at 3:15 o'clock from the county jail. The fire company promptly responded but it was ascer tained that it was only some rags and trash which had been placed on top of one of the sheet iron cages that was burning. It is conjectured that some of the prisoners had put it there and set fire to it in the hope that the sheriff would throw open the doors of the jail when when the alarm was given and give them an opportunity to break jail. If so the game did not work. It is the habit of many persons, when an alarm of fire is given, to discharge fire arms indiscriminately. During the excitement Saturday morning, some one fired a shot which took effect just above the knee on the horse belonging to Dr. C. L. Poole, which was out in the lot. The horse is at present incapac itated for use, but it is not permanently injured. Death of Mrs. Douglas Barksdale. Mrs. Lily Pair Barksdale, wife of Mr. C. D. Barksdale, died at her home in this city at ten o'clock last Thurs day morning. Mrs. Barkskale had been in ill health for several years, but her last illness was very short and her death a shock to many of her friends. Her husband and sisters, Mrs. Lucy Phifer of Newberry and Mrs. Bettie Clarke of Gainesville, Ga., were with her at the end, but her only child, Miss Laura Barksdale, who received her dip loma at Hollins Institute, Va., a few days ago, did not arrive until several hours after her mother's death. Mrs. Barksdale was a daughter of Dr. Drury Fair, who died at Selma, Ala., in the sixties, and in that city she was married to Mr. Barksdale, on the 9th of June, 1881. Since her marriage she has lived con tinuously at Laurens and her charming, womanly personality, unusual intellect and culture have greatly endeared her to many. She was a devoted member of the Presbyterian Church and until her health failed, was active in Church work. The burial took place at the private burial ground of the Barksdale family, two miles from the city at 5 o'clock Friday evening, the 24th anniversary of her marriage. Rev. Robert Adams of the Presby terian Church, assisted by Rev. J. D. Pitts of the Baptist Church, conducted the services, which were held at the grave. The pall hearers'were: T. P. Simp son, C. W.

Cuban Diarrhoea ir, almost as severe and dangerous as a mild attack of cholera. There is only one remedy however, that can always be depended upon as will be seen by the following certificate from Mrs. Minnie Jacobs of Houston, Texas: "I hereby certify that Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy cured my husband of a severe attack of Cuban diarrhoea, which he brought home from Cuba. We had several doctors but they did him no good. One bottle of this remedy cured him, as our neighbors will testify. I thank God for so valuable a medicine." For sale by Laurens Drug Co. and Dr. B.

At the commencement exercises of the Calliopeon and Polytecturic literary societies of the South Carolina Military Academy, held in Hibernian Hall, Char leston, on Friday evening, Cadet Wm. R. Richey, Jr., of Laurens, delivered the valedictory. The "News and Courier" of the 10th has this to say of Cadet Richey's speech: Valedictorian William R. Richey spoke on "The Cause of the Downfall of Na tions." He had evidently prepared his oration with much care, and his delivery was forceful and strong. He spoke of the downfall of the dynasties of ancient days, and deplored the material ideals which the people of today are setting up for themselves. He was greeted en thusiastically. After the close of his speech proper, he addressed his class mates in a few well chosen words. Cadet Richey, who is a son of Mayor W. R. Richey and a bright and promis ing young man, is of the graduating claas of the citadel. Just What Everyone Should Do. Mr. J. T. Barber of Irwinville, Ga., always keeps a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy at hand ready for instant use. Attacks of colic, cholera morbus and diarrhoea come on so suddenly that there is no time to hunt a doctor or go to the store for medi cine. Mr. Barber says: "I have tried Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarr hoea Remidy which is one of the best medicines 1 ever saw. I keep a bottle of it in my room as I have had several attacks or colic and it has proved to be tbc best medicine I overused." Sold by Laurens Drug Co. and Dr. II. F. Posey. 'i -4t 25CENT COLUMN.

Now is the time to use Hyomci, when the early summer days make it so easy to cure catarrhal troubles. The Ilyo mei treatment breathed for a few min utes three or four times a day in May or June, will do good twice as quickly as it diu in January, and nearly every one knows that used fathfully then, it completely rids the system of Catarrh. Hyomei is a purely vegetable pre paration whose active curative proper ties are given when it is breathed by the aid of the pocket inhaler that comes with every outfit. It destroys all germ life in the air passages, purifies the blood by supplying additional ozone, and its healing volatile, antiseptic fra grance reaches every corner 01 the re spiratory tract as no medicine taken through the stomach can possibly do. The complete Hyomei outfit costs but one dollar, and consists of a neat in haler that can be carried in the purse or vest-pocket and will last a lifetime, a medicine dropper, and a bottle of Hyomei. Extra bottles of Hyomei can be procured, if desired, for titty cents. At this season of the year when ca tarrhal troubles can be so quickly and readily cured, the merits of the Hyo mei treatment should be carefully inves tigated by everyone and a complete out fit should be in every home. The Lau rens Drug Co. give their personal guar antee with every Hyomei outfit they sell to refund the money if it does not give satisfaction. There is no risk whatever to the purchaser of Hyomei. 1785 1005 College ol Charleston. ;CHARLE3TON, S. C. Entrance examination will be held in the County Court House on Friday, July 7, at 9 a. m.
